Installing and Configuring Oracle Restart
Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server includes Oracle Restart and Oracle Automatic Storage Management.
If you install Oracle Restart and then create your database, the database is automatically added to the Oracle Restart configuration, and is then automatically restarted when required. Oracle Restart automatically restarts the database when required.
If you install Oracle Restart on a host computer on which a database already exists, then you must manually add the database, the listener, the Oracle ASM instance, and other components to the Oracle Restart configuration before you are able to configure automatic database restarts.
Note:
Oracle Restart can support multiple single-instance databases on a single host computer.
